Is there a man here who would have this Nation return to the witchcraft days of old Salem? It is the same old cry. It was raised against the Germans when they were weak. It was raised against the Irish when they were weak. It is raised today against the Poles and against the Italians and against the Jews because they are weak. and those who are most desirous that a literacy test be applied display their ignorance by questioning the ability of the Italian people to conduct a government.
